| [00:25.02] | Close your eyes and come with me back to 1984 |
| [00:29.10] | We'll take a walk down Henry Street to Dunnes |
| [00:31.68] | Department store |
| [00:33.15] | The supermarket's busy and the registers make a din' |
| [00:37.38] | The groceries go rolling out and the cash comes rolling |
| [00:40.71] | In |
| [00:40.80] | Mary Manning is at the checkout and she's trying to |
| [00:47.70] | Keep warm |
| [00:48.75] | When a customer comes up to her with a basket on her |
| [00:52.11] | Arm |
| [00:53.04] | The contents of the basket Mary's future is to shape |
| [00:57.21] | But the label clearly stated "Produce Of The Cape" |
| [01:04.80] | I can't check out your oranges Mrs, now won't you bring |
| [01:07.74] | Them back |
| [01:08.82] | For they come from South Africa, where White oppresses |
| [01:12.06] | Black |
| [01:13.14] | I'd have it on my conscience and I couldn't sleep at |
| [01:16.29] | Night |
| [01:17.19] | If I helped support the system that denies Black |
| [01:20.13] | People's rights |
| [01:24.69] | Our union says "Don't Handle Them. It's the least that |
| [01:27.48] | We can do |
| [01:28.20] | We Fought oppression here for centuries, we'll help |
| [01:31.47] | Them fight it too" |
| [01:34.02] | The managers descended in an avalanche of suits |
| [01:38.34] | And Mary was suspended cos she wouldn't touch the |
| [01:41.49] | Fruits |
| [01:50.01] | Chorus: |
| [01:50.16] | Dunnes Stores Dunnes Stores |
| [01:51.30] | Dunnes Stores with St Bernard Better Value Beats Them |
| [02:01.62] | All |
| [02:01.68] | Well, her friends are all behind her and the union gave |
| [02:04.77] | Support |
| [02:05.79] | And they called a strike and the pickets brought all |
| [02:07.95] | Dunnes' Stores to a halt |
| [02:09.96] | No one was going to tell the Boss what he bought or |
| [02:13.17] | Sold |
| [02:14.13] | These women are only workers, they must do as they are |
| [02:17.34] | Told |
| [02:17.70] | Isn't it just typical of a partite screwball law? |
| [02:25.74] | It's not just in South Africa, the Rich Temple and the |
| [02:28.86] | Poor |
| [02:29.97] | He wouldn't have a boycott, he couldn't give a tinker's |
| [02:33.06] | Curse |
| [02:33.99] | Doesn't matter how he fills the shelves as long as he |
| [02:36.96] | Lines his Purse |
| [02:44.40] | Chorus |
| [02:53.25] | The messages came rollin' in from all around the world |
| [02:57.45] | For such concern and sacrifice and for courage brave |
| [03:00.54] | And bold |
| [03:02.22] | When 14 months were over, 10 women and a man |
| [03:06.93] | Had helped to raise the consiousness all around the |
| [03:13.26] | Land |
| [03:13.38] | Cleary's in O'Connell street wouldn't sell South |
| [03:16.05] | African shoes |
| [03:17.13] | Best Man sent all their clothes back, Roches Stores |
| [03:19.89] | Sent back their booze |
| [03:21.30] | Until all South African goods were taken off the |
| [03:23.97] | Shelves in Dunnes |
| [03:25.32] | And Mary Manning was down in Henry Street sticking to |
| [03:28.50] | Her guns |
| [03:28.98] | Chorus |
